In other words we will sign guys or treads for guys that fit out current agenda. If there is no move to make so be it. Later in the year if it makes more sense to bench players to get extra ping pong balls, we've done that I the past. Phil isn't here but the blueprint is intact... its The right course of action.

I disagree real tanking happens on the FO with the team they put on the floor. Right now looking at the Knicks team, if you take out Melo that is a 15-20 win team which should be good enough for a top 5 pick

We still have the same no-defense coaching-staff plus a roster of raw young players .. at the end of the day that's called ......!

Am I the only guy not high in Michael Porter or Doncic? Even so, I still advocate turning the team over to the youth and allow them to learn through their errors. #tank.

A team could never actually admit they are tanking as that likely would impact ticket sales negatively. They are not in the business of losing money but I'm glad they are going with the youth movement after watching like 20 years of quick fix failures after Ewing left.

Youth movement and tanking are two different things. In Philly the players knew management was intentionally trying to be non-competitive. If we're building around youth and developing players and we're trying to win but just aren't good enough yet, that's a different deal.
